After two days of exploring the inner machinations of the Psyche of the Artiste, and the challenges us sensitive creative types endure, I was faced with a dilemma that cut right through all that mumbo jumbo.
I was going out for drinks and dinner, and didn't have a THING to wear with my new animal print cardigan!
So, off to my little desk I went, and there were the funky pointed shell beads referred to in yesterday's post. They just begged to be strung with silver rounded squares (perfect items for this indecisive Libra who can't decide which shape works best, rounds or squares...) They're the best of both worlds really, like chicken-bologna that I've taken to calling "Confused Meat."
Because Jim was meeting me in less than 10 minutes, I didn't have time to stress, or fiddle, or fret.
I alternated the silver spacers with the shells, added 6 long tube beads (my little neurosis of always finishing a piece in mulitples of 3 - my numerology number) crimped the two ends to the decorative toggle clasp, et voila, away I went to dinner in my cute little jungle-motif ensemble!
Here's living proof then, that the creative process isn't ALWAYS tortured and arduous. And yes, sometimes it is, but not unless I make it so.
"Once you make a decision, the Universe conspires to make it happen."
